Courtney Love Says Taylor Swift Is ‘Not Important’ and ‘Not Interesting as an Artist’
the Hole frontwoman made her thoughts known about the pop singer, saying: “Taylor is not important. She might be a safe space for girls, and she’s probably the Madonna of now, but she’s not interesting as an artist.”“I like the idea of Beyoncé doing a country record because it’s about Black women going into spaces where previously only white women have been allowed, not that I like it much,” she said. “As a concept, I love it. I just don’t like her music.
So, who does Love like? According to the Standard, Patti Smith, Nina Simone, PJ Harvey, Julie London and Joni Mitchell.
When it comes to more current artists, Love said: “It’s great that there are so many successful women in the music industry, but lots of them are becoming a cliché. Now, every successful woman is cloned, so there is just too much music. They’re all the same.”
Representatives for Swift did not immediately respond to Variety‘s request for comment.
